Bruno: I’m for Daly

Bruno, R-Brunswick, wrote a letter of support to Daly, who represents Clifton Park on the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors.

Daly was challenged earlier this week by Clifton Park town board member Lynda Walowit, a fellow Republican.

For those who don’t know, there’s a rift in the Republican Party in Clifton Park. The latest issue to divide them is water (see some previous posts by clicking on “Clifton Park” over to the right hand side of this page).

Bruno didn’t mention the dispute or primary, he just showed the love:

“It is with great enthusiasm that I offer this letter of support on behalf of your candidacy.

Your efforts to provide a strong and independent voice on behalf of the public’s best interests is worthy of recognition and appreciation. During your 14 years representing constituents on issues that affect the town and the county, this region has become an ideal place to locate a business, raise a family and enjoy the many recreational activities that it has to offer.”

We’ll post a link to the entire letter as soon as we figure out how to do it.

UPDATE: Thank God for editorial assistants. HERE is a link to the letter.

Update II: Walowit issued the following statement this afternoon:

“As I have been saying, I support open and honest government, reducing taxes and cutting spending for the residents of Clifton Park. Anyone who knows my record as a Town Board member can point to the fact that I am a proud Republican who is fiercely independent from influence by any political boss or elected official.”

Coming next: The response to the response to the response? We hope not.

Everyone is saying the rift is being caused by one or two people only. The gang leader is Marty Torrey, a former Democratic Party County Chairman who has infiltrated the Republican town committee with one goal – to destroy a highly successful team.

It won’t work, a Bruno letter is meaningless, he is a detriment to anyone in a Republican Primary. Republican primary voters would love to vote against Bruno or a Bruno candidate.
